Letter to Peter Viertel [manuscript], 1954 January 21.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647998652

Hemingway, on safari with his wife Mary, writes to Viertel from Nairobi mentioning a hitch as temporary game ranger, surveying elephants and fish, and flying with Roy Marsch; and apologizes for not writing Jigee Viertel. He writes in more detail about looking "after a leopard who killed 10 goats in one night...."; boxing with native "boys"; and learning to hunt with a spear, giving a list of animals killed to date. Hemingway also refers to [movie collaboration?] between Faulkner and Hughes, noting "all the stories I know now are barred from the screen on acct. of miscegenation. also all too rough."
